Sengaku-ji

泉岳寺

Tokyo · Kanto

A quiet Soto Zen temple in Takanawa famous as the burial place of the Forty-seven Ronin, whose graves still draw incense-bearing visitors honouring the Edo-era loyalty tale.

Why we picked it

A modest temple most travelers pass on the Yamanote line without realising its story.
